Bariatric surgery involves several surgical techniques that treat obesity or its related medical problems. Some aim to reduce the size of your stomach while others strive to alter the function of your small intestines to reduce the absorption of calories from food and drinks.

If you can’t lose weight through traditional weight loss techniques, such as diet and exercise, your doctor may recommend a bariatric surgical procedure to help you slim down and improve your health. These operations are now exceedingly safe and often successful. In certain situations, your surgeon first must perform bariatric revision surgery to correct a problem or improve your chances for weight reduction.  ASBNJ has some of the best bariatric surgery doctors in the field.

Patients may inquire about revision weight loss surgery for several reasons. A single weight loss surgery procedure is sufficient for many patients, providing adequate long term weight loss. For others, a single weight loss surgery procedure may not cause the desired results, either through insufficient weight loss, poor resolution of co-morbidities, and/or due to medical complications resulting from the weight loss surgery itself. When performing revisional weight loss surgery, one needs to be able to utilize every tool available, and sometimes create new ones based on your particular problem.

Types of Bariatric Surgery that Require Revision
Since the 1980s, obese patients have benefited from bariatric surgeries, but over time, problems and complications emerged that required reevaluation. A couple of kinds of the procedure that were once popular, but now require bariatric revision include:

• Vertical Banded Gastroplasty. An early form of gastric banding surgery, this procedure provided substantial weight loss for the majority of patients with few complications. Over time, however, many gained back much of the weight while others complained of increased appetite. Doctors usually traced these problems to an interruption in the staple line, although it was also possible that the scar tissue obstructed the stapled stomach or the plastic band eroded over time. Other side effects from this procedure include:
• Heartburn
• Upset stomach
• Stomach pain
• Vomiting
• Excessive weight loss, often in conjunction with nausea
  Jejunoileal bypass. Unfortunately, most of the patients who had this surgery require a reversal. Once an extremely popular type of gastric bypass surgery, the jejunoileal bypass has fallen out of favor due to some serious side effects, such as:
• Severe diarrhea
• Kidney and liver damage
• Electrolyte abnormalities
• Other gastrointestinal problems

A Common Bariatric Revision Surgery
If you lose 50 percent of your desired weight loss goal following a bariatric procedure without complications, your doctor considers the operation to be a success. When starting at very high BMI’s, despite this amount of weight loss, you still may suffer from medical problems and require additional surgery to help get you to your weight loss goals.  If you haven’t reached your weight loss goals, you may need to undergo testing to determine how we can help you get there. This process determines whether or not you’d benefit from further testing or another procedure.

Today, the most common and effective method of bariatric revision surgery is the Roux-en-Y (RNY) gastric bypass procedure. It’s named after its inventor, César Roux, and the stick figure Y he used to describe the procedure.

During the RNY surgery, your bariatric specialist creates a small pouch out of the portion of your stomach closest to your esophagus. He then connects your small intestine directly to the pouch and bypasses much of your stomach and the first part of your small intestine. For patients disappointed with their weight loss after RNY, doctors can also reduce the size of the pouch or lengthen the small intestine to decrease food absorption as deemed necessary.
